        Verdict

        Wovoka gets the narrow nomination here with European Dream and Granston rating the main dangers. The selection is thrown in on his best form and although disappointing last time out he looks sure to be able to dominate this small field and he looks a value bet in an open affair. European Dream rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating My Paris. That horse has since run well in the Royal Hunt Cup and he will not be far away. Granston is another that could go well on his latest third behind European Dream but although he is better off at the weights here with that rival he still has plenty to find. Of the remainder, Bailieborough is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best, while Bolodenka is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Wovoka.
